| Pros | Very soft, dense midsole, close to the ASICS Nimbus 25 · Handled a half marathon without bottoming out · Thick, durable upper · Great for walking and long hours standing · ₹1,800 to ₹2,000 on sale | The only shoe in the battle with a nylon plate · Energetic and stable · Extremely durable |
| Cons | Heavy, about 350 g in UK 8 · No heel counter, not for overpronators · Not for paces around 5 min/km · Runs small, I sized up a full size | Thick, tight upper |
| Avoid if | You run fast, around 5 to 6 min/km, overpronate or have ankle stability problems. | You run in heat and need a breathable, roomy upper. |
My verdicts

EnergeX
The EnergeX surprised me more than almost any shoe this year. For under ₹2,000 it is a top pick for beginners, heavier runners, slow runners, walkers and people on their feet all day, but not for fast running.
Avoid if: You run fast, around 5 to 6 min/km, overpronate or have ankle stability problems.

Budget half-marathon racing: the only shoe here with a nylon plate, energetic, stable and extremely durable.
Avoid if: You run in heat and need a breathable, roomy upper.
